Proponents, on the other hand, claim that private payers have more interest and latitude in saving money than charities and especially governments.
Still, in looking to a Bush administration that has made clear a willingness to allow timber, mining and energy interests more latitude in operating on public lands, none among the Democrats were willing to predict that they and Ms. Norton would always see eye to eye.
Because we were interested in latitude as a correlate of photoperiod and other environmental factors, we used the absolute value of latitude, ignoring whether a population came from the northern or southern hemisphere.
In this context, it is of considerable interest that, as latitude increases (both north and south of the equator), the amount of effective UVB radiation decreases due to an increase in the angle of the sunlight reaching the planet surface (i.e., traveling a longer distance through the Earth's atmosphere).
Once the ion and electron velocities are determined, the latitudinal (X -component) and longitudinal (Y-component) current densities can be computed analytically for all altitudes and latitudes of interest from the current density equation.
But it is a reasonable magnitude for an extreme geomagnetic storm at the latitudes of interest of this study, and that selection is actually unimportant for the purpose of analyzing the vulnerability of the network because, as pointed out above, the values of the GICs are scaled proportionally to the electric field (Pirjola 2008a).
Even for studies of taxonomic distinctness for invertebrates spanning much larger latitudinal ranges, there have been limitations to inferences, due to incomplete data structures in the samples available for analysis (i.e., not all depth strata were sampled at all latitudes of interest, e.g., [39], [40]).
Figure 1 illustrates how GPS data derived from all five satellites can cover an area of interest, mid- and high latitude, in both hemispheres.
Kiev is likely to recognize that it is in its own interest to allow Beijing some latitude on this issue, so as not to jeopardize its own economic and military well-being in the process.
